According to the upstream changelogs [1][2], the database format did not change in 5.2 or 5.3, but the log format changed in 5.2 and again in 5.3. [1] http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_2.html [2] http://download.oracle.com/otndocs/products/berkeleydb/html/changelog_5_3.html I built slapd against libdb5.3-dev in a test environment, and it refused to open an existing database: bdb(dc=example,dc=com): BDB1538 Program version 5.3 doesn't match environment version 5.1 So, I think (n.b.: I'm not an expert) that a dump and reload is necessary for this transition, same as 4.8->5.1 and 4.7->4.8. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
